Intimate Hygiene

Caring for your intimate health and hygiene is an essential part of everyday well-being, yet it is often neglected or approached with embarrassment. In this collection you will find over 1,600 selected products — cleansers, protective products, pads, lubricants and much more — designed to meet the needs of every stage of life while respecting the body's natural physiology. Finding your way is easier than it seems: you just need to know the right criteria.

How to choose the intimate hygiene products best suited to you

The first criterion is pH: the female intimate area has a naturally acidic pH (around 3.8–4.5) that should be preserved. If you have reactive skin, choose cleansers formulated at physiological pH and free from harsh fragrances. Men's hygiene needs are different, and dedicated products take these differences into account. Then consider the product format: gels, foams, single-use wipes and pessaries each serve a different purpose. Wipes, for example, are handy when travelling but do not replace a liquid cleanser for daily use. A common mistake is using body washes or scented soaps: they disrupt the natural balance and can encourage irritation.

For pads and menstrual products (cups, period pants, organic cotton tampons), consider how well they suit your lifestyle and flow. If you have sensitive skin or prefer a natural approach, you may choose products made from organic, chlorine-free materials. For lubricants and intimate comfort products, check compatibility with any contraceptives and the base of the formula (water-based or silicone-based). If you have doubts about specific products or persistent symptoms, your doctor's or pharmacist's advice is always the most reliable reference.

Frequently asked questions

How often should an intimate cleanser be used?

Once or twice a day is generally enough. Overuse can upset the natural bacterial flora: choose gentle formulas and follow the label instructions.

Are intimate hygiene products suitable during pregnancy?

Not all of them: some formulations contain ingredients to avoid during pregnancy. Always read the label and consult your doctor or gynaecologist before introducing new products during this period.

What is the difference between a water-based and a silicone-based lubricant?

Water-based lubricants are compatible with most materials and easy to wash off. Silicone-based ones last longer but are not suitable for use with silicone items. Always check compatibility with the products you use.
